NATIONAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAM NAMES NEW CLASS OF FELLOWS 54 Women Faculty to Embark in Year-Long Program
PHILADELPHIA (May 5, 2014) – The Hedwig van Ameringen Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine® (ELAM) Program at Drexel University College of Medicine is pleased to announce the selection of its 2014-2015 class of Fellows.
This is the 20th incoming class for ELAM®, the only program in North America dedicated to preparing women for senior leadership roles in academic health science institutions, where they enhance institutional leadership diversity while contributing to organizational strategy and innovation. The one-year, part-time program combines three week-long in-residence sessions with distance learning, designed to take the leadership lessons gained from the classroom to practice in the Fellows’ institutions.
“The curriculum addresses four major competencies of academic leadership,” said Diane Magrane, MD, director of Drexel’s International Center for Executive Leadership in Academics, which supports the program. “Fellows enter the program with a great capacity for leading organizational change – ELAM gives them the tools, road map, and confidence needed to make an impact on their institutions and beyond.”
Each Fellow is supported by the dean or other senior official of her institution in her nomination for the program and continued mentorship. One aspect of this relationship is the curricular requirement to conduct an Institutional Action Project, developed in collaboration with the senior leadership. These action projects are designed to address a strategic institutional priority. Magrane explains, “The Fellows’ projects not only help them understand the challenges facing academic health centers and the skills a leader must possess to address these challenges, but also often result in concrete, positive changes at their institutions.”
Upon completion of the one-year Fellowship in April 2015, the 54 members of this class will join a community of over 800 alumnae – all highly accomplished women serving in a variety of leadership positions around the world, including department chairs, research center directors, deans and college presidents, as well as chief executives in health care and accrediting organizations.
The work for this incoming class begins in May with online assignments and community building activities that continue through the end of the program in April 2015. Fellows begin the first of three week-long, in-residence sessions when they meet for the first time at the ACE Conference Center in Lafayette Hill, PA, on September 6, 2014.
